Backdrop Completed
Backdrop (printed murals) is up with some final touches to be done as buildings and other scenery is completed. Next up is the lighting and then trackwork layout. In some of the scenes I cut out the portions I needed and laid them against a sky blue painted backdrop.
Backdrop - trying a local artist
I'm at the stage on my alcove expansion where I needed to think about what to do with the backdrop area and I thought that I'd try a painted backdrop. The area is all together approximated 30 liner feet and I first thought about a printed backdrop like can be supplied by one of our fine sponsors. I've got such a backdrop in the Matthews Freight Yard area, but with the cost I thought that I'd check out other options.
too much weathering powder resulted in structure which is too dark - how do I correct this?
I am building a steam era roundhouse (the old SS Ltd kit) and overused black weathering powder, resulting in the structure looking too dark.
Since I have sprayed the powder with acrylic fixative, how can I correct the overall look and feel?
Suggestions anyone?
BTW, people are correct about the lighting being construction lighting. "Run time" model lighting is still in the discussion phase, so we will bring some temporary incandescents in for evaluating weathering changes.
Miniature Wonderland Netherlands version - Madurodam
Just so I can compete with pipopak 
I have mentioned this place in other areas, but I felt that it would be favorable to add it as a separate blog entry. I visited here in 1983 and, although quite large at that time, it has grown quite a bit since then. It is located on the outskirts of The Hague (Den Haag), toward the Northwest just a few miles (kilometers).
